“Trump looks set to get his tax cuts.
The proposal also calls for massive tax increases on middle class Americans.
This is nothing to celebrate in my book.
Trump didn’t campaign on raising my taxes, but that is what is going to happen - all so that corporations can get a huge rate cut.”

What tax increases? And why are they Trump’s tax cuts instead of Congress’s? More facts and fewer talking points, please.
Good questions.
1. If you eliminate a deduction, and hence have to pay much more in Federal taxes, that is a "tax increase" - any way you slice it. There is no defense on arguing this, unless you are completely without reason.
2. I never said they were Trump's tax increases, but I said he never campaigned on raising my taxes. Agree on both of those statements?
3. I am with Trump 100%. I love the man, truth be told. And I know he is trying to lessen the blow with this state and local tax deduction, but the latest I have heard is that is he ready to be rolled by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell because he is so desperate for a Congressional victory.
What else would you like to know? I am not being flippant, I really want to answer your questions. Thanks.
